Wire to Wire Connectors

Wire-to-wire connectors are electrical components designed to join two separate wires or cable ends, enabling secure and reliable signal or power transmission. They typically consist of a male and female housing with terminals that lock together, offering easy assembly and disassembly.

Ideal for applications requiring flexibility, they come in various sizes, configurations, and locking mechanisms to suit industries like automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment. At Zeakka Electronics, we offer high-quality alternatives to brands like Molex and JST.

How to Choose the Right Wire-to-Wire Connector

Finding the ideal wire-to-wire connector ensures secure and efficient connections for your project. Consider these key factors:

  • Pitch Size: Select a pitch (e.g., 2.00mm, 3.96mm) that aligns with your wiring setup for a perfect fit.
  • Current and Voltage Rating: Choose a connector that meets your power demands—verify ratings to prevent failures.
  • Contact Count: Match the number of contacts to your wiring needs, from simple pairs to multi-circuit designs.
  • Locking Features: Go for connectors with locking mechanisms if your application involves movement or vibration.
  • Environmental Factors: Account for temperature, humidity, or exposure to ensure long-term reliability.
